I hope that you not only will "sign" the above petition, but will forward it to your representative as well. You can do that directly by using the below link to e-mail the language of the petition to your Congressional representative: http://www.house.gov/writerep/Make sure that your friends and sympathetic family members are e-mailed the link to the petition -- only through "spreading the word" can the potential effect of this effort be realized.

Another critical thing to do -- for the really committed -- is to write a short (100 word) letter to the editor of your local newspaper about this petition, and include the web address: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/632965389Or, you could even get people together to pitch in for an ad to include the text of the petition.

I have recently gotten a goodly volume of e-mails (and one or two complaints) which leads me to the conclusion that the announcement of this petition has been broadcast far and wide. This is good. However -- If you choose to broadcast news of this petition, please make sure and add a brief note to the recipients indicating who you are and why you are sending it -- this will help avoid misunderstandings as it is transmitted to various individuals.
